Isagay: TYSM CHIGIRI ILYSM

Princess <3: yeah but u love ur fine shyt more right?

Isagay: ughhh im srry twin but I do..

 

“What are you doing?” A voice laced with saccharine whispered into his ear, strands of blond hair falling onto his shoulder as a force pressed its chest against Isagi’s back.

Kaiser.

“HOLY FUCKING SHIT, YOU’RE AWAKE??.” Isagi screamed, accidentally dropping his phone while in the midst of texting Chigiri.

Isagi turned his chair to face Kaiser on his bed in the blue lock clinic, putting a hand to his head, “How are you feeling?” he asked, phone lying forgotten on the floor

“Could’ve been worse,” Kaiser picked it up for him, like a gentleman.

Wait, wasn’t he texting Chigiri about...

Isagi’s eyes went as big as saucers, “GIVE THAT BACK!” He screeched, desperate for Kaiser not to see his text to Chigiri, if he found out, he’d revert to that insufferable smug yet endearing annoyance.

And the adorable, blushing and hesitant Kaiser who got stupefied when Isagi ‘accidentally’ wore his clothes would disappear.

Isagi would be lying if he said that thought alone brought him joy.

Kaiser placed a hand on Isagi’s forehead, pushing him down and rendering him unable to jump, “Don’t tell me you’re reading porn, Yoichi, this could be my death bed and you’re doing naughty stuff.” Kaiser giggled as he glanced at the screen.

“SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GIVE ME MY FUCKING PHONE.”

“Now, let’s see what kind of porn dear Yoichi is reading today.”

Kaiser surveyed his phone, then probably possibly perhaps read his little chat with Chigiri.

Isagi waited in vain for that stupid grin to form.

But instead, Kaiser handed Isagi back his phone, giving in for once, before collapsing onto his bed and signalling for Isagi to sit.

 

“So you wanna explain?”

Isagi sighed, he knew it would come to this, he sat down on Kaiser’s bed and crossed his legs.

“I’m sorry.”

Call Isagi delusional, but he swore he saw the cutest subtlest little smile on Kaiser’s face before he continued, “For what?”

The pounding of his heart grew louder.

“I’m sorry for wearing your clothes without permission just to get reactions from you, but you were so cute! I mean, the first time I did it with the robe I thought it would be goofy but your expression was so funny and honestly adorable! As for the jersey one, I knew how much it meant to you so I was proud to wear it, I was a little disappointed when you tried to get it back but I was glad when you gave up, as for the cologne I went out of my comfort zone just to see you make a funny expression and holy shit am I so glad I did it, the adorable little mumble you did set my heart on fire! And-“

Kaiser sat up and covered Isagi’s mouth, “Alright, alright that’s enough.”

Isagi grinned, then snuggled up to Kaiser, his head on Kaiser’s broad and warm shoulder, enjoying the closeness between the two of them.

“If you wanted to wear shit like that, you could’ve just said so, I would’ve bought you anything you wanted in a heartbeat.”

Isagi laughed, after a week of playing dumb it felt good to let a raw, genuine laugh rip itself out of his throat, he kissed Kaiser’s neck and giggled.

“Cmon shitty emperor, where’s the fun in that? I know you prefer me in your clothes.”

“That I do Yoichi, that I do.’

Notes:

Some character study I want to discuss and share:

In this fic, I made Kaiser someone who cares deeply about the name of the brand but I’m not too sure he wld actl do allat

Maybe bcuz he wants to like idfk lmao show off his title and status as ‘king’

This is giving me ideas for King Kaiser x Commander Isagi, I’m not sure if I want to put them in a relationship yet, but let’s say King Kaiser is one of the best swordsmen in the entire empire and Isagi is too but Kaiser is stronger(?) than Isagi so he’s better, As a commander Isagi often has to consult the King for stuff like where to deploy the army, but let’s say King Kaiser does not take it too fucking seriously and just annoys Isagi and Isagi lowk hates that but respects and admires the king when hes in his element honestly wld ts be bttr w ness

Notes:

Isagi was acting like such a bottom it pissed me off so i made him say slurs
